• To stop waves crashing into houses
• Really steep to climb
• Eroding by big steps and dark storms



• Protected by heaps of fences

Managing Self


The key competency we are looking at this week is managing self. It's all about being ready and focussed for learning. When we stay on-task and listen to the teacher, when we are organised and following instructions we are self-managing. I took photos of children self managing in Room 7 today...look at these great learners!!
